HELP! I changed to 'sign in by email address' now 'admin' cannot log in...

Permalink
I know this is probably a really stupid thing to have done but I have set -up a site and before going to put it up on the live server I created my user groups and checked the checkbox that says "allow users to sign in with email address" .

Now I cannot sign in as 'admin'

which means I have no access at all as I am the only user.

How can I change this back as it must be in the data somewhere? I am trying to get the site live today and am now freaking out as I am completely stuck.

Your help and assistance will be appreciated.

If you remember your admin email, then use it for login. If you are not sure what is your email, then need to check database. Open your database and find users table. You can see a column called uEmail. The value in it is the email which you can use for login.

If you don't remember your password, then use forgot password option.

I thought I would drop by to thanks you guys for your support the other day when I was in a real fix. Your advice was helpful and I sorted the issue resetting my password.

All good now.

Hello again,
I am really in a quandary here; I am using Bitnami on my computer to build the site and Bitnami is using version 5.6.3.1 of Concrete 5.

Firstly as a novice I am finding the file structure hard to interpret as Bitnami appears to be putting everything into C:\Bitnami\concrete5-5.6.3.1-1\apps\concrete5

However, the files and folders in there are mostly empty. (I was used to working with Joomla) this is my first major foray into Concrete 5 and I feel I have really screwed it up. I can see my site but cannot work out where all the files are.

I have tried sending an email to the email address associate with the admin account but am instructed that the email address doesn't exist.

I tried following this page that was linked in a previous reply:http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/how-tos/developers/recoverin...

However I tried method 1 and as I am using it on a local server I tried looking on MySQL for the logs but cannot see where this is?

ANy ideas?

Many thanks
